Guest Steve Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Hello, I have a user that has XP SP2 in a Windows 2003 server environment that has to reboot her PC every morning to reconnect the printers and drives. Does anyone know why her PC would be dropping network shares like this? Thanks, Steve

In the morning when she comes in and wants to print to the share printer on the network or access the drives they are unavailable until she either remaps or reboots.

You did not really answer the question about HOW the connections are made in the first place, hence my advice may miss the mark. To get robust share mappings, use explicit commands in your logon script, e.g. like so: net use /persistent:no net use Q: \\YourServer\SomeShare
